Vehicle Control Data Translation for Driver Preference Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle control systems fail to efficiently transfer and adapt driver preferences across different vehicles, leading to increased convergence time and suboptimal vehicle operation.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a communication module, a translation module, and an actuator control module that receives and translates vehicle control data from one vehicle to another, allowing for the adaptation of vehicle actuators to match the preferences of a particular driver, including powertrain, suspension, and steering system characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If driver preferences are learned during operation of another vehicle, then adaptability to driver preferences is improved, but convergence time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary learning of driver preferences during operation of another vehicle (second vehicle) before the driver operates the first vehicle. The communication module receives control data from the second vehicle in advance, and the translation module prepares translated control data, so that when the driver enters the first vehicle, the actuators are already configured to match the driver's preferences, eliminating convergence time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the driver's control behavior patterns from the second vehicle by receiving control data (accelerator pedal inputs, steering inputs, brake inputs) and translating them to control the actuators of the first vehicle. This copying approach allows the first vehicle to replicate the driver's preferred operating characteristics without requiring the driver to重新 adapt.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle control data is translated between different vehicles, then adaptability across vehicles is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is designed with universal functionality to handle control data from different vehicle types. The communication module can receive control data from any second vehicle, and the translation module can translate this data to control any actuator in the first vehicle, making the system adaptable across different vehicle configurations without requiring vehicle-specific hardware for each case.
Solution Approach 2:
The translation module serves as an intermediary between the communication module (which receives raw control data) and the actuator control module (which controls the actuators). This intermediary translates control data from the second vehicle's control scheme to the first vehicle's actuator control scheme, abstracting away the complexities of different vehicle configurations and providing a standardized interface.
3Productivity
If actuators are controlled based on translated vehicle control data, then vehicle operation optimization is improved, but control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The actuator control module automatically controls the actuators based on the translated vehicle control data without requiring manual intervention from the driver or additional complex control logic. The system serves itself by using the driver's own control patterns (translated from the second vehicle) to automatically optimize the operation of the first vehicle's actuators, improving productivity while keeping the control system relatively simple.
Data Source
AI summary
A system of a first vehicle includes a communication module, a translation module, a driver identification module, and an actuator control module. The communication module receives first vehicle control data generated based on operation of a second vehicle by a driver. The first and second vehicles are different. The translation module determines second vehicle control data based on the first vehicle control data and first characteristics of the first vehicle. The driver identification module selectively indicates when the driver is operating the first vehicle. During operation of the first vehicle by the driver, the actuator module controls at least one actuator of the first vehicle based on the second vehicle control data.
